json deserialization

I have a dictionary of named objects that I've serialized.  When I deserialize it in TC, it seems to understand that it's a dictionary and it shows the names as its keys, but the objects don't show up as objects.  It looks to me like each one is itself a dictionary.  This is not how the same code works for me in PyCharm.

With your permission, I'll show the serialized object and then the code:

{
    "company1": {
        "py/object": "__main__.Company",
        "number": "1"
    },
    "company2": {
        "py/object": "__main__.Company",
        "number": "2"
    },
    "company3": {
        "py/object": "__main__.Company",
        "number": "3"
    }
}

class Company:
    def __init__(self, number):
        self.number = number

r = open("c:\\temp\\test.json", 'r')
todecode = r.read()
decoded = jsonpickle.decode(todecode)
print(decoded["company1"].number)
print(decoded["company2"].number)
print(decoded["company3"].number)

That code works in PyCharm and outputs 

1
2
3

The same thing in TC gives me

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'number' 17:54:40 Normal 0.00

It seems to be deserializing the dictionary into tuples where the key is correct but the value is a dict, rather than a Company object.
